Description
Sea Level Rise: A Permanent Threat Ice on land is melting, and sea levels are rising at unprecedented rates. This phenomenon is unstoppable for many centuries due to excess heat stored in our oceans. As a result, coastal communities worldwide will face devastating consequences by 2050. The effects of Sea Level Rise (SLR) will be felt across various industries and properties, with some experiencing impacts earlier than others. Understanding the causes of SLR and its relationship with extreme weather events, such as forest fires and flooding, is crucial for planning and adaptation. John Englander, a renowned oceanographer and expert on climate change, provides valuable insights into this pressing issue. In "Moving to Higher Ground", Englander examines the unique challenges faced by various stakeholders, including government policy makers, infrastructure planners, architects, and real estate businesses. He also explores potential solutions and what can be done now to address this global peril.
